On this crooked street I stroll
Dodging swiftly past the shadowy patrol
Traces of sulfur lingers about
Zeroing in on a fading shout
Street lights flickering dim
This feels so grim
Can't fall astray not here
Can't afford the price of fear
This place follows no rule
It's sinister it's cruel
Weakness has no place
There's monsters with no face
No empathy no heart
Kindness is ripped apart
The innocent struggle to hide
When these monsters collide
Their rampage leaves destruction
No help consumed by corruption
Failed system colored blue
Pain and anguish nothing new
So cold it seems this life
At times I couldn't dodge the stryfe
Some say a choice is there
If so these monsters must be unaware
